The Valley City Times-Record plans to run a historical photograph each week submitted by our readers.

An anonymous Valley City resident brought in this photograph taken in October of 1965, when the condemned former Valley City Lutheran Home for the Aged burned. In 1965 the Lutheran Home was located on Washington Drive, but Valley City later changed the numbering of streets and avenues in the city.

Today the address for the home would be 345 12th Ave, N.E., where the Valley City Eagles Club is now located.

Valley City is known for its bridges, and many of the bridges that cross the Sheyenne River have unique components that make them iconic. The Rainbow Bridge on East Main Street, which was rebuilt in 2004 for safety reasons, is one of the few rainbow arch bridges still in use in the U.S. today.

The new Rainbow Bridge, which replaced the Rainbow Arch Bridge, was dedicated almost 10 years ago.
